John M. you beat me to it. The following is NOT - repeat NOT - a cat pic. Rather it's a demonstration of the bokeh of my (then) newly acquired Hasselblad XCD 90 lens. Shot wide open, because I just had to. To demonstrate the bokeh. :ROTFL:

Oh, come on, lets get real...a cat is a cat is a cat and yours is a cat! (an adorable one at that).

In my case it's technically not really a cat.....well, um...OK, so I'm a Cheat-er too. I actually needed to check out the focusing of the lens and found I really didn't have a suitable subject to shoot and just happened to stumble upon him lying out in the open (yea right). :ROTFL:

Pentax 645D; A* 600mm f5.6 645 lens.

Dave,

Glad that you were shooting with a 600 and not my 90...

The opposite exposure problem of a black cat in a dark room. What did you use to set the white point? :ROTFL:

I'm guessing he used The Zone system. Works everytime.

Exposed to the right...

Think I may have posted this before, but I forget.

I rarely shoot people but, every now and then, I give one of the mechanics a photo for his wife. This proud fellow wrenches on both these machines. IQ180, SK 55mm.

It just occurred to me that Debbie (in my picture a little way above) is "exposed to the right" as well... ;-)

[She is ok with this joke, by the way!]
